Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The virtual appliance for VMware vSphere is easy to deploy, easy to manage, and we have no need for additional Windows licenses."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"Technical support responds very quickly."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"They have great support."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"It is fairly stable."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"Nakivo's implementation documentation could use a little beefing up."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"No appliance update notifications."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
